This Big South Conference matchup between a pair of below .500 teams, Hampton and Longwood, definitely is a below-the-radar game.
I see it in a different way, though. I think it's an oddsmaker's mistake as far as setting the total too low.
Hampton averages 69 points. The Pirates have scored 69 or more points in six of their last eight games. They commit the fewest turnovers per possession of any team in the Big South. The Pirates can take advantage of a Longwood defense that ranks 249th in the nation in defensive field goal percentage.
Longwood is in action for just the third time since Jan. 30. The Lancers are getting back their scoring touch. They beat Gardner-Webb, 78-71, in their last game this past Friday. The 78 points tied the Lancers' highest-scoring performance during their past 15 games.
The Lancers should have no trouble scoring in the 70's. Hampton gives up 73.6 points, which ranks 260th.
